Routledge The Crises of Legitimacy in Global Governance

Examining the interplay between the domestic, regional and global aspects of the crisis of legitimacy of global governance, this book theoretically questions and empirically analyses the "crises of legitimacy" in global governance with respect to various mechanisms, actors, and issues. It expertly sheds lights on contemporary legitimacy contestations and crises by analysing conceptual, theoretical and empirical aspects of the legitimacy in global governance. The specific issues and case studies collected in this volume survey the evolving nature of legitimacy and legitimization processes in global governance with historical, and theoretical analysis. Perspectives on specific actors and issues provide vital insights for understanding several commonalities and differences of legitimacy crises faced at various global governance mechanisms. Improving the understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of current global governance bodies by showing several legitimacy contestations and crises at global and regional level, this book will be of great interest to scholars of international relations, globalization, international Political Economy, regionalism, and general global governance studies. Review "Crisis of Legitimacy in Global Governance constitutes a valuable addition to the literature on global governance from a critical perspective. Major conceptual issues, the role of key actors, and principal issues involved are examined by a good mix of established and young scholars. It will be useful to scholars and practioners as well as students of international relations and international political economy". Ziya Öniş, Professor of International Political Economy, Koç University, Istanbul, Turkey. "Gonca Oguz Gok and Hakan Mehmetcik have put together an impressive edited collection tackling a core topic relating to the future of institutional cooperation in the 21st century. Interrogating the question of legitimacy under conditions of multi-dimensional crisis, including Covid-19, is an ambitious enterprise. However, benefiting from the input from a number of high-profile scholars, the volume fills a major gap in the literature on Global Governance in both a substantive and timely fashion and deserves a wide readership." Andrew F. Cooper, University Research Chair, Department of Political Science, and Professor, the Balsillie School of International Affairs, University of Waterloo. "What makes multilateral institutions consequential actors in global governance? As world order becomes more fragmented, the forces that can sustain the legitimacy and efficacy of global and regional cooperation are captured in this invaluable collection of essays which should be of considerable interest to scholars and policymakers."
